Smoothing-irons are of late invention,
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth and

pose.
The admitted history of China began

Of Samuel.
1t is estimated that 600 insects day

have been observed to leave their nests

The soil for house plants should re.

Mosques in Persia.

The interior of Persian mosque il
always the same. There is a courtyard
it may be large it may be small, it may
be paved with STONE, brick, Or tile work
it is always surrounded by wall, which
may be high or low. Invariably there is
a vessel for drinking water and hauz
or tank for performing the necessary alb
lutions. The drinking water receptacle
may be crock or stone vessel resembling
a font, or a similar receptacle in metal of
brass, copper, silver or even gold. The
mosque itself may be mere mud howell
but even in these cases there is usually
some slight attempt at domed roof. 1t
may be of plain brick, of stone-which
is, however, very rarely employed in Per
STA in the building of mosques-or it may
be built of bricks covered inside and out
with tile work, such as cannot be mag
ined for elegance and beauty by the I'M
travelled European. A good Persian
mosque appears like vast edltice of blue
and white porcelain. Sometimes it is OF
light blue, sometimes deep indigo.
The taste of these decorations is unde-
niable. Inscriptions and texts, the letters
of which are three, four and even six
feet long, and may be read for miles, are
not uncommon. But few years ago
mosques and shrines were frequently de-
spoiled of their choisest treasures-mag
nifcent tiles covered with inscriptions in
high relief, in blue, white and gold, the
letters of which were frequently dec.
grated with that peculiar glaze NOW 8
lost art in Persia which made the in
scriptions give forth a metallic luster and
caused them, when the suns rays fell
upon them, to resemble masses of bur
nishcd gold. If the exterior of these
mosques is magnificent, still more beauti
full are the interiors; the walls, the
arches, the columns, the floors and the
vast domes are covered with exquisitely
executed tile work. st. Jdmes's Gasette

PARSoN DOWNS CHURCH.
Opening OF tho BowdoIn Square Church
Under n New Title.

After lapse of two years. the Baptist
Tabernacle formerly the Bowdoin Square
meeting house, has been thrown open, and a
large company of the friends of the new en-
terprise inspected the sanctuary. But few
ministers We're present, as most OF them are
absent on vacations or at the Baptist camp
meeting at the Vineyard. Every one was
more than pleased with the extensive alter
ations. The three important particulars OF
light, ventilation and heating have been reg
ulated in the best manner.
The formal exercises were held in the audi
ence room. Rev. A. G. Lawson presided.
Rev. R. B. Moody offered prayer. DR.. Law
son made a brief address, calling attention to
the Importance of the work entered upon.
He congratulated the committee upon their
choice of a name, and expressed his convic-
ton that the work would justify the name,
and the building would be happy place of
meeting for Christians with one another and
with their God. Rev. NJ R. Deming, pastor
OF the Tabernacle, stated briefly the plan OF
work already outlined, and called for volun-
teers in the various departments. A very
encouraging response was made, each person
signing his name and indicating the branch
of work he would make a specially. Mr..
John H. Parker, superintendent of the Har
ward Street Sunday school, urged the impor
lance of new methods of work, and made q
very encouraging report of what had beer
accomplished in his field.
Rev w. l. Haven, pastor of the First M
E. church, in a neat little speech, expressed
